India have clinched the series win and are chasing a whitewash of Afghanistan after dominating the opening two matches of their engagement.
Afghanistan have struggled to read conditions, which has led to them not making the most of their opportunities, especially when it comes to putting runs on the board.
The M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore is set to play host to Afghanistan for the first time in its history. The ground will stage its tenth T20I and eighth involving host nation India. India has won three and lost three at the venue, with one match ending in no result.
To Win Match
India 2/13 | Tie 25/1 | Afghanistan 46/10
Yashasvi Jaiswal has significantly benefited from chances to bat with the likes of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli while also stepping up to help his team achieve results.
Meanwhile, Shivam Dube has come from nowhere to be a strong contender for India’s T20 World Cup squad thanks to his ability to tear apart spin.
Axar Patel is back to quietly being one of India’s main contributors and he hasn’t even had to wield the willow to show his great worth to this team.
In the fast bowling injury crisis, Arshdeep Singh has been the find for India with his consistent performances and bags of wickets.
For Gulbadin Naib’s contribution, it is hard to fault him, but the manner of the loss of his wicket might sting with the batter well set when he fell for a change of length, albeit one that was well-disguised.
Karim Janat shows promise with both bat and ball and just needs experience in international cricket to prove himself.
Afghanistan have been without Rashid Khan but won’t be happy with the way they have been rolled over.
For their pride’s sake, they will want a strong finish, but they won’t get much at all from India.
Verdict: India 2/13
Afghanistan haven’t shown any signs of living with India so far. Back the hosts to complete the whitewash.
